    About this ebook

    Theodore Rose Cogswell (1918 - 1987) was an American science fiction author. His first published story, "The Spectre General" in the magazine ASTOUNDING (June 1952), was a humorous tale in which a long-forgotten maintenance brigade of the Imperial Space Marines holds the promise of reinvigorating a declining Galactic empire. It's a classic and was selected by the Science Fiction Writers of America as one of the greatest SF stories of all time.


    This volume (a reissue of Cogswell's 1968 collection, THE THIRD EYE) presents 16 of his classic stories and is the first of what should eventually be three Cogswell Megapacks, presenting his complete short stories. Included are:


    NO GUN TO THE VICTOR

    MR. HOSKIN'S HEEL

    THE CABBAGE PATCH

    LIMITING FACTOR

    DISASSEMBLY LINE

    A SPUDGET FOR THWILBERT

    TRAINING DEVICE

    IMPACT WITH THE DEVIL

    ONE TO A CUSTOMER

    THE MAN WHO KNEW GRODNICK

    LOVER BOY
